[W126 Coupe] Blowing Fuse

[mavris2 at comcast.net]

Well to see if you roof has a mechanical problem.  You should use the manual crank to see if it opens and closes properly.  If it does not, then your probably have broken slide/ rail mechanism.  If it works properly opens / closes manually then your motor is probably bad drawing too much amps and blowing the fuse.  thad be my take
